What was the religion of the Roman Catholics before Christ?

Answer 1

Roman Catholic AnswerThe Catholic Church IS the Christian Church established by God through His Son, Jesus Christ, and guided by His Holy Spirit. It has never been, and will never be anything else then the Mystical Body of Christ, and His Bride: the Christian Church.

Jewish

Actually There wasn't a Roman Catholic religion before Christ.

Catholic AnswerRoman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the Catholic Church. The first Catholics were all Jews as the Catholic Christian Church was the only one established by Our Blessed Lord before He sacrificed Himself on the Cross. All of the first Catholics had been Jews. Later, Saints Peter and Paul went to Rome and converted the pagans.
